It's lovely to see the collaborations that come out of the introductions we made. Rachel @rocworxdesigns.bsky.social made these star earrings out of ballet slippers donated by Royal Ballet & Opera after we introduced them to each other.  #reducewaste #recycle #starearrings

Two incredible stories about these earrings: The ballet shoes were donated by the Royal Ballet & Opera to @rocworxdesigns.bsky.social so as to reduce waste & Rachel is making a donation to the Trussell Trust - a food bank charity  for every pair sold.  #balletshoes #upcycling #charity #generosity

These key fobs have a story attached. The leather is from ballet slippers donated by RB&O to Blue Patch members. To save them going to waste, Rachel @rocworxdesigns.bsky.social reuses the leather when marbling products. She donates a portion of sales to a food bank. #keys #balletslippers #foodbank
